Black and no stand for me

Are they worth springing for? Was thinking of these or a townshend seismic stand/platform

Dave improving day by day and I am indeed finding no difference between the bog standard supplied toslink cable and a chord co. spdif cable nor between the CD players. Dave just takes the signal and works it's magic. 91% is indeed a rare score for HFN and it confirms what we have heard :blush...

I'm using both the Rega Isis and the Bryston bcd1-I haven't decided which one to commit to. I'm actually new to all this digital stuff beyond CD's so have no idea how I would rip my (quite large) CD collection to a better file?

Thanks Jazz, I will once I can but for now I need/want the additional sources:blush:

Lol, thanks m0nster :blush:

Box arrives...

I'm awaiting an acoustic revival stand and am currently using the chord supplied toslink for the Rega and a custom chord cable RCA to BNC spdif for the Bryston bcd1. Can't really tell any difference between the different transports/digital cables-whatever I listen to seems the best lol Vocals...

Struggling to upload images but it's DAVE-day! Right out of the box it sounds so good-all my music is on CD now and "even" at 16/44.1, it sounds so right. Just together and coherent. Musical and easy. Detailed spacious and clean. Finally CD had come of age, perfect sound forever...

Mine is due next week....:grimacing::grinning: I am just a little bit excited. I almost don't want to be because it sets up expectations that may be fantastical....

Dang it, yes you did, apologies! I'll check that cable out, thanks :blush:

Thanks, Rob. I'm looking forward to it arriving but get conflicting advice on how to connect transport to DAVE. You're the first to advise optical but, well, if that's what you're saying, then optical it is....! Does cable quality matter for optical?

The Rega Isis doesn't like all discs unlike my Brsyton bcd-1 so if I use that as my transport, is the AES/EBU preferred over toslink and s/pdif? Should I be anxious over timing/jitter with using separate DAC and transport?
